外交部長王毅日前與美國國務卿魯比奧（Marco Rubio）通話時表示，「希望你好自為之」。成語「好自為之」的翻譯一時難倒中外各大媒體，並在網上引起熱話。有網民注意到外交部官方的通訊稿譯文，發現該句子被翻譯為「I hope you will act accordingly」。外交部近年翻譯了多個中國俗語、成語、熱詞，如「圈粉」、「睜著眼睛說瞎話」、「三六九等」、「只許州官放火，不准百姓點燈」等。有內地媒體整合相關的外交部通訊稿，一起來看看吧。
三六九等、遠近親疏
1月14日，對於美國商務部發布的人工智能（AI）相關出口管制措施，外交部發言人郭嘉昆表示，美方為維護霸權，在人工智能領域也開始搞「三六九等」、分「遠近親疏」。其根本目的是剝奪包括中國在內廣大發展中國家科技進步、推動發展的權利。
To maintain its supremacy, the US chooses to split the world into tiers, granting access to countries that are “close” and barring access to “the rest.” The real purpose is to deprive developing countries, including China, of the right to make their own progress in science and development.

圈粉
2024年12月18日，外交部發言人林劍談到國產遊戲《黑神話：悟空》時表示，很高興看到《西遊記》這部400多年前的中國神話小說在數碼科技「加持」下大放異彩，「圈粉」全球玩家。
We are truly glad that as one of China’s most celebrated mythology novels, Journey to the West—four centuries after it was written—is now digitally transformed into a stunning video game and taking the world by storm.

賊喊捉賊、倒打一耙
2024年12月10日，加拿大外交部長趙美蘭發表聲明，以違反人權為由宣布對中國有關人員進行制裁。 12月11日，外交部發言人毛寧指出，加方自身人權劣質斑斑，問題成堆，至今原住民仍面臨系統性種族歧視和不公正待遇，非但不思悔改，反而肆意抹黑污衊其他國家，散布所謂中國人權問題的謊言，這是典型的賊喊捉賊，倒打一耙，令世人恥笑。
Canada faces its own list of human rights issues. Its own human rights record has not been spotless. Even today, Canada’s indigenous people still face systemic racial discrimination and unfair treatment. Instead of dealing with it, Canada chooses to smear and vilify other countries and spread lies about China’s alleged human rights issues. This is a typical move of “thief-crying-stop-thief” and can hardly convince the world.
睜著眼睛說瞎話
2024年9月23日，針對時任美國總統拜登在美日印澳「四邊機制」高峰會上關於中國的言論，林劍表示，美方口口聲聲說不針對中國，但峰會第一個話題就是中國，峰會處處拿中國說事，這是睜眼說瞎話，連美國媒體都不相信。
Though the US claims that it does not target China, the first topic of the summit is about China and China was made an issue throughout the event. The US is lying through its teeth and even the US media does not believe it.

只許州官放火，不許百姓點燈
2024年5月14日，針對美國財長耶倫談及中國在電動車等新能源領域存在所謂「產能過剩」一事，時任外交部發言人汪文斌表示，按照美方的邏輯，美國進行補貼就是「至關重要的產業投資」，別國進行補貼就是「令人擔憂的不公平競爭」；美國向世界出口有比較優勢的產品就是「自由貿易」，別國向世界出口有比較優勢的產品就是「產能過剩」。這用中國話來說就是「只許州官放火，不准百姓點燈」。用美國話來講就是「我做了你不能學，我說了你必須做」。
We noted the media coverage. Based on US logic, US subsidies are “investment in critical industries,” whereas other countries’ subsidies are seen as “worrying unfair competition”; US exports with comparative advantage constitute “free trade,” whereas other countries’ exports with comparative advantage are signs of “overcapacity.” There’s a Chinese saying for that logic, “The magistrate allows himself to set fire but bans everyone else from lighting candles.” Or, to use a US expression, “Do as I say, not as I do.”
勿謂言之不預
2022年8月，美國時任眾議院議長佩洛西竄訪中國台灣地區後，中國軍方進行軍事演習、飛彈實彈射擊。有人稱這是中國構成威脅的證據，8月4日，時任外交部發言人華春瑩回應說，中方已經多次表明堅決反對佩洛西竄訪台灣的立場，並且指出如若成行將嚴重違反一個中國原則，嚴重侵犯中國主權和領土完整，中方必將採取堅決有力措施應對，一切後果由美方承擔。勿謂言之不預。
China has made it clear many times that we are firmly opposed to Pelosi’s visit. And we made it clear that once the visit is made, it would be a serious violation of the one-China principle and grave infringement on China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. China will definitely take strong and resolute measures in response and all consequences shall be borne by the US side. So do not say that we have not said in advance about the implications of this incident.
